NEXT: Look at what your discipline has written previously about Discipline specific SLOs. How do these compare to each of the general college learning outcomes above?

Program Review 2007:
Program Review 2009-2010:


PERSONAL COUNSELING SLOs
  • Each student will receive professional counseling in the identification of educational goals, choice of courses, assistance with academic and/or personal difficulties, leading to their retention and academic success.

GLOBAL COUNSELING SLOs
  • The counseling process will enhance students' knowledge of campus policies, procedures, and resources and enable students to function more autonomously in academic institutions and in life.

EDUCATIONAL/ACADEMIC COUNSELING SLOs
  • New students will identify college resources, procedures, and policies that support their academic success.
  • The student will be able to make critical decisions about their academic decisions based on accurate and timely information provided by the Counseling department.

CAREER COUNSELING SLOs
  • The student will be able to use the on-line Eureka system to conduct labor market research. Explore relevant college majors, and compare and contrast academic programs and universities.
  • The student will assess and organize personal information about their values, interests, skills, and work styles which will enable them to select a college major or career to investigate independently.

These are the intended specific outcomes of our program level SLOs in Counseling:
Students will be able to:
  • read and use the Course Schedule and catalog.
  • understand campus policies and procedures relating to academic progress (e.g., drop deadlines, Petition for Course Line Out, and Academic Renewal).
  • contact their faculty, and set up an appointment to address academic performance/expectations in the course.
  • navigate on-line courses.
  • examine time management skills and address issues surrounding over-commitment (e.g., 112 hours committed of 168 hours in a week).
  • calculate their GPA and/or use an on-line GPA calculator.
  • interpret their transcript.
  • analyze and apply the contents of the catalog to their situation.
  • use Eureka Career/Academic Information System to research majors, universities, and compare and contrast options.
  • use Assist.org to prepare for UC and CSU major preparation, general education, and more.
  • understand how to transfer to a four year university, to complete AA/AS degree, and to earn a Career Certificate.
  • clarify goals (education, personal and career) and write it out in the process.
  • develop study skills by utilizing resources (such as Coun 125, EOPS workshops, and workbook, etc.).
  • utilize on-line Orientation to College.
  • utilize Probation Workshop/Workbook (to be developed in future).

Counseling: The Counseling Department educates and facilitates student's problem solving ability so that students become self-directed and responsible for making informed educational, career, and personal decisions.

Program Review 2009-2010:

Library
: In the library Department, we teach students to approach problem solving by helping them learn the research skills and strategies needed to become "information literate", independent learners. Students learn from the library faculty - through credit courses; through faculty-requested class instruction; and through one-on-one instruction at the Reference Desk - how to locate needed information; analyze it; evaluate it; synthesize it; and communicate it in an ethical and legal manner.
